Wehewehe Puke Wehewehe:

Manaʻo hou o kēia au:
ʻO ka manaʻo maʻamau o Mālama ʻo ia ke “mālama ʻana,” “hoʻomalu,” “pale,” a “hoʻokele.”

Kaona (manaʻo hohonu):
He huaʻōlelo ʻelua ʻāpana ʻo Mālama.
“Mā” he pōkole o ka huaʻōlelo Maʻa, ʻo ia hoʻi, ka ʻike piha, ka ʻike pono, a me ka ʻike i kekahi mea ma o ka ʻike ʻana a ka hana ʻana.

I mea e hiki ai ke mālama i kekahi mea, pono e lilo mua ke kanaka i maʻa iā ia mea. Pono ka hoʻomanawanui, ka ʻimi ʻana, a me ka naʻau ākea i mea e loaʻa ai ka ʻike hohonu. Ma ka lilo ʻana i maʻa, hiki ke loaʻa ka mālamalama – ka lama. ʻO ia ke ʻano o ka hoʻomaopopo piha ʻana.

Kaona (manaʻo hohonu):
ʻO Pono ke kūlana o ka kaulike – ka noho ʻana o nā mea ʻokoʻa i ka lōkahi. Ua ʻike nā kūpuna Hawaiʻi he honua i haku ʻia e nā mana pālua: ka lā a me ka pō, ke kāne a me ka wahine, ka ʻāina a me ke kai. ʻAʻole kēia mau mana he “kūʻē” ma ke ʻano ʻino, akā he mau mana e hoʻopau a e hoʻokō i kekahi i kekahi.

Ke loaʻa ka kaulike ma waena o lākou, hele pono nā mea a pau. Ke nalowale ka kaulike, haʻalele hoʻi ka pono. Akā, ʻaʻole kēia kaulike e pili ana i ka nui like. He laʻana maikaʻi ka waʻa kaukahi – ka waʻa me hoʻokahi ama. ʻO ke kaʻele he mea kaumaha, ākea, a lōʻihi, ʻo ka ama he mea māmā a liʻiliʻi. Ke hui pū ʻia lākou me ka lanalana a me ka kuaʻiako, kū mai ka kaulike, a holo pono ka waʻa ma ke kai nui.

ʻO ia ka ʻano o ka Pono ma ke ola kanaka. ʻAʻole ia he kūlana paʻa wale nō, akā he hana mau — he kaulike e pono e mālama, e nānā, a e hoʻoponopono mau ʻia. Ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka makaʻala, nalowale ka kaulike, a nalowale ka pono. Pēlā pū ka pilina kanaka, ka nohona kaiāulu, a me ke ola ʻuhane — pono e mālama mau ʻia i mea e noho ai i loko o ka pono ʻiʻo.

Kaona (manaʻo hohonu):
Ma ka manaʻo Hawaiʻi, ʻaʻole ʻo Kōkua he “kōkua wale nō.” ʻO ke kōkua ʻana ʻo ia ke hana i ka mea pono, i ka manawa kūpono, a no ke kumu kūpono — me ka ʻole o ke noi ʻia. ʻAʻole e kali ka mea kōkua i ke kāhea; ʻike ʻo ia i ka pono o ka hana a hana me ke aloha.

Kaona (manaʻo hohonu):
I ka manaʻo Hawaiʻi, ʻaʻole hiki ke loaʻa he kuleana me ka ʻole o ke kuleana pili. Ke ʻāpono nei ke kanaka i kekahi kuleana, ʻae pū ʻo ia i ke kuleana e mālama, e hoʻomaikaʻi, a e hoʻonui i ka mana o kēlā mea.

No laila, ʻo ka “right” i ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi ʻaʻole wale nō he pono e loaʻa, akā he kuleana e mālama pono ai i ka pilina i haku ʻia. Inā he kuleana kou i ka ʻāina, pono ʻoe e mālama iā ia. Inā he kuleana kou i ka waʻa, pono ʻoe e hoʻomaikaʻi i kona mana.

ʻO ka Kuleana ʻoiaʻiʻo he pilina ʻelua — he pono a he haʻawina. Ma ka hoʻokō ʻana i ka kuleana me ka haʻahaʻa a me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ulu ka mana, ka pilina, a me ka pono o nā mea a pau.

Kaona (manaʻo hohonu):

Ke noho haʻahaʻa ka poʻe, e hana pū ana lākou me ka ʻuhane hoʻokahi. Hiki ke holo ka hana, e ulu ka pilina, a e ola ka ʻohana. ʻO ka haʻahaʻa, no laila, he ʻano mana e hoʻolaulā ai i ka ʻike, e hoʻokumu ai i ka lokahi, a e mālama ai i ka pono o nā mea a pau.
